Happy Earth Day everyone! Well, okay, technically, Earth Day is over, but only because I’m such a night owl and don’t get around to posting until midnight. I hope everyone took some steps to help out our wonderful planet, and that hopefully you’ll continue them on for the rest of the year 🙂

Of course, we still have two days to recap here, so this post will be going waaaay back, to the day before Earth Day.

Wednesday

The day of my second final. Fortunately, this final wasn’t until noon, so I didn’t have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn to get to campus on time. Instead, I enjoyed a leisurely morning looking over my notes and sipping on some greens+ extra energy. But as it turns out, I failed to take a picture. Not so with breakfast!

That would be a chopped gala apple, KashiFlakes & Granola High Fibre cereal, Kashi Cinnamon Harvest cereal, and my favourite use for Greek yogurt – combined with peanut butter and maple syrup to make a thick, creamy frosting, perfect for just about anything. Yum!

I over estimated how long it would take to get out to campus, and ended up there almost a full hour before my exam. On my walk from the bus stop to the building, some kamikaze bird flew into the back of my head. Let me tell you – that hurt! I’m not sure if it was aiming for me or not, but seriously not cool. At least I didn’t get shat on, even if that’s supposed to be good luck.

Since my exam was really just another midterm for the course, it was only scheduled for 1.25 hours, and I was outta there just before 1 pm, with a tummy just begging for lunch. I decided to stop at Whole Foods and partake in the hot bar of delights.

That would be the end of the box of Nature’s PathPumpkin Raisin Crunch cereal with sliced strawberries & milk. Love how all the cereal dust makes it thick.

Served up with the sports section in the newspaper? Check.

Hockey fan, right here.

I made sure not to waste away my time before work, and to get out there and enjoy the sunshine, so I went for a great walk around the ‘hood. When I got back, I replenished with a glass of Happy PlanetClean Green organic green juice.

The weather was just so nice, I took my psychology text outside to do my reading on the back deck. I even had to put on sunscreen, as I could feel my forehead heating up – and if you’ve seen any picutres of me, you’ll know just how pale I am (aka – I burn, not tan).

Alas, my sunbathing/studying eventually came to an end, when I figured it was time to eat my late lunch and get ready for work.

I toasted up some of that 100 Mile Bread, and spread on a little ArtisanaCacao Bliss.

Then I was ready for my short 4 hour shift at the store. It felt like I hadn’t been there in ages! It wasn’t too busy, so time went a little slowly, but I guess everyone was out enjoying the sunshine. Can’t blame them!

I grabbed a few things after work, then came home and put together an awesome dinner.

The star of the show? Falafel!

We picked up a big ol’ package of falafel when we were at Costco on the weekend, and I knew I needed to dig into them ASAP. And since I had whole wheat pitas and a wee bit of tzatziki left at home, I knew exactly what to do with them.

On that whole wheat pita I layered SabraRoasted Garlic Hummus (on sale this week), baby spinach, falafels, cucumber, onion, avocado, tzatziki, and cheddar. It looks pretty full, but I was still able to fold the sides up and eat it without too much trouble.

On the side were carrot sticks.

And more of those uber-ripe strawberries.

How can you not love a meal like this? Fresh, delicious, colourful. Perfect!

Playoff hockey sucked me in this evening when I should have studied, but it’s all good. I still have a few days to get that psychology info into my brain.

Later on, I was ready for a snack, mostly because mom had made cornbread muffins. And they are divine.

With another mug of tea sweetened with that minty honey. This time I went with chamomile.

And that, my friends, is all she wrote. Off to get some shut eye – more studying & hockey watching ahead! Night!

[…] it was time to make some lunch. There was minimal creativity involved in this one – remember my falafel pita last night? Well, substitute chicken for falfel, Silver Hills sprouted grain bread for pita, and leave […]
